C253 1651017 Early one September morning, sixty-three freshmen began a new school era when they ambled down the hallowed halls of Alexander Wilson School to begin four long years then, but actually now,'very short ones, which will be treasured by all of us. Under the leadership of Mrs. S. C. Burke and Mr. Thomas Williams, our year began very pleasantly. Our class officers were, presidents, Douglas Carver and Charles Lane, vice-presidents, Carolyn Glosson and William Rice, secretaries, Linda Thompson and Rae Vone Gumm, treasurers, Jim Covington and Mickey Wheeley. Since we had had one year of high school training, we were better prepared to face the sophomore year. Then our coming into a beautiful high school building with its modern facilities gave us a new outlook on our educational adventure. Ronald Scott and William Rice were our presidents, Douglas Carver and Otis Bailey, vice-presidents, Faye Brewer and Joyce Edwards, secretaries, Linda Thomp- son and Carol Walton, treasurers. Under the guidance of Mrs. G. B. Robbins and Mrs. Robert L. Lloyd another profitable year came to an end. When our junior year began, it was to be a very busy one, and full of happy moments and memories that will never be forgotten. The climaxes of the year were getting our class rings, giving the junior-senior banquet, the theme of which was Starlight and Roses, and participating in athletics and other school activities. Our advisors were Mrs. G. B. Robbins and Mrs. Marvin Terrell. The class officers were, presidents, Otis Bailey and Douglas Carver, vice-presidents, Rae Vone Gumm and Ann Sawyer, secretaries, Dovie Jean Dunlap and Sylvia Jones, treasurers, Faye Brewer and Kay Brewer. A wonderful summer ended, and once again it was time for us to continue our search for knowledge as the school doors were opened wide and teachers greeted us. This new year found forty-six seniors united firmly under the leading hand of Mrs, G. H. Enfield. New experiences and numerous responsibilities awaited us. The class officers were, president, Charles Covington, vice-president, Carolyn Glosson, secretary, Patsy Sharpe, treasurer, Mickey Wheeley. Under the leadership of Coach Lewis Robertson, our football team's record was one of the best in the history of the school, fact of the matter, our athletic pro- gram, as a whole was one to be proud of, and the students, participating learned many lessons that will be of future value to them. Another activity, which has taken much time, is the editing of our school annual, THE WILSONIAN. The staff, composed of seniors and iuniors worked diligently to prepare a good one. In November the seniors elected their mascots, Becky Lane and Jack Bailey of whom we are very proud. Several social events, one of which was the prom given by the iuniors, afforded us much pleasure. As our high school life at Alexandria Wilson School ends, we shall never forget the happy experiences that we have enioyecl, the friendship formed, and the wonderful lessons we have learned.
